Why Do You Need A Disability Attorney?

Disability income policies are drafted with ambiguous and confusing contractual terms. This provides disability insurance companies with multiple reasons for delaying and denying disability income benefits.

Many years of handling complex disability insurance issues against every major disability insurance company has given us the unique knowledge, litigation skills and trial strategies necessary to help our clients obtain disability benefits and monetary damages for wrongful disability income claim denials.
